a string of haiku

DREAMS DEFERRED 
dandelion dreams
dancing doting dogwood tree
deforestation 

THE QUIET ONES 
dark heart’s art tar scars
black blood beating beckoning
sociopath scream

BUTTERFLY BRUNCH 
black blue butterfly 
breathless beauty blessed beware
bird beak bite bloody

Each haiku draws me into its sphere. Each one has an entirely different theme, yet they complement each other. A beautiful read.
